Thinking of that dream trip to the Kentucky Derby or the Indy 500? If you go, it will be pricy. And if you go, you MUST buy your package from a reputable source. Daniel Chavez from Sports Empire stops in to explain his packages and why you need to be careful.

Gwen Duncan checks in with information on changes coming up soon to your passport.

A new local theater is starting up, and as is our tradition on the show, we love to give the smaller local theaters a little PR from time to time.

In the travel news, Delta emerges as the winner in the latest poll of Airline Frequent Flyer programs; and Southwest says "the new basic economy" fares are NOT coming to a Southwest plane near you.
This Sunday (February 5th) on The Travel Guys... Gwen Duncan of Cordially Yours Travel is a regular reporter and this week she comes to talk about how her agency makes a special effort to market to and service special needs travelers. Gwen will explain how wide the range of special needs can be, give some examples of travelers she has helped and how, and suggest how special needs travelers can be best served when seeing the world. Mark digs into the Travel Guys Mail Bag and answers some of your inquires, including a listener asking if saving SEVEN seats on a Southwest flight when pre-boarding is appropriate; and another who wants to know if it's legal to attend a time share presentation, accept a gift and then make no purchases. Get ready for some lively answers... The guys have the Travel News and a segment which pokes fun at the way airline tickets are sold. What if paint were sold the same way?
